Segundo Desiderio

Segundo lives in the city of Chiclayo and works for a small shoe factory in his town, where he earns a daily income.

Segundo is grateful to the Kiva lenders who provide the assistance he needs to buy a laptop computer so he can create his own shoe designs and enable him to continue making his dream a reality, “Having his own show factory.”
